LARAMIE, Wyo. - The University of Wyoming Cowgirl tennis team closed out their four match road trip with a 7-0 shutout by the 15th-ranked UNLV Rebels, at the SDSU Tennis Courts Saturday, in San Diego, Calif.

The Lady Rebels improved to 15-3 overall and 4-1 in the league, while the Cowgirls fell to 5-9 and 0-2 in the MWC.

UNLV opened the day by sweeping three doubles and lost no sets in their six single-match wins. In singles play, 88th-ranked Gyorgyi Zsiros made her debut at the No. 1 position and defeated Jenny Bowman 6-4, 7-6. Despite a great effort by Bowman, she now drops to 16-5 overall.
